Gold prices expected to gain from North Korean test.

Gold prices are expected to tick higher, analysts said, spurred by the latest North Korean missile test on Sunday, which is likely to send investors seeking safe havens. 

North Korea early on Sunday conducted its sixth and most powerful nuclear test, using an advanced hydrogen bomb. The detonation is the latest escalation of tensions between North Korea and other countries including the US and its Asian allies, after Pyongyang sent a missile over Japan last week.
